Auto Run Programs before Logout?

Some time in the past I believe a read of a freeware program, on this list,
that acted somewhat like the unix, .logout file: Programs listed in this
file were automatically run just before one shut down the computer.

There are a lot of cleaning operations I think I would enjoy being done
right before I close, rather than while windows is loading (e.g., programs
in the startup folder). Too bad there is not a ``shut down'' folder to do
the same thing at session's end.

Anyone know where I can find a program that runs applications upon closing
the OS?

That looks nice. I'm wondering if it could manage the following
scenario... I'd like to be able to shutdown (Win98SE) according to the
following sequence:

1. Terminate all running processes, except those needed to run a
DOS-based program in a DOS box.

2. Run said (backup) program from a batch file.

3. Power down computer.

Do you know if this would be possible?

thanks
Brian
